Corrected Leather: Corrected leather has been sanded to have

the blemishes removed and then embossed to give it a uniform

look. It also has had protective coatings applied to make it

more soil resistant and have better color consistency.

Uncorrected Leather: With uncorrected leather, the best hides

are selected which are more supple to the touch and will

develop a beautiful patina over time. another characteristic is

the romance and story that this leather tells; the natural

scars, bug bites, neck wrinkles, brands and the slight

difference in the shading of color on the hides will create a

unique look to your furniture. This leather is not as soil

resistant as corrected leather.

Decorating and furniture has not always been

my occupation, but it has been my passion for a very long time.

I practically inhale decorating books and magazines. So, I here

provide you with some of my thoughts and knowledge. Yuri

That is right: the price does matter, but it is not the essential one. The main decision factor should be influenced by taste and need and only after that by the price, especially when it comes to leather furniture.
